I bought a male dwarf rabbit from wackers 6 moths ago. As it turned out it was a female rabbit who has grown quite big but we love her all the same.

She is living indoors in a wire cage recently everytime I try to take her food bowl out she make a strange sound and goes for my hand she hasnt actually bitten me yet but I feel it may be a matter of time. Does anyone know how to solve this before she does hurt someone?
